I was wondering if anyone has countersunk spars, stringers, whatever using the micro-stop in a drill press? My countersinking craftmanship is just not developing like I wish it would after countersinking the VS and one of the HS spars. My idea is that if i put the micro-stop in the drill press, I could control the process better and ensure that the holes are not getting "oval." I go slow with the air drill and 95% come out fine, but that 5% that I mess up seem to happen despite going slow and taking my time. It is almost luck, or lack there of whether or not the countersink is acceptable.
Also, what do I do with "oval" and countersinks that are too deep. My thought is to do nothing or put an "oops" rivet in there. The only problem with the "oops" rivet is that it is going through the skin so I don't know how that would look or work. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts.
